I did flash my BIOS just a month or two ago, in order to get Win2k to install. But I'm having the same sort of problem in trying to install Redmond Linux (a Caldera offshoot). It is not seeing my hard drive. The install program works fine ( choosing language, mouse, keyboard, video card) up to the point of choosing where to put Linux. It is not only not seeing the partitions (and free space), but not even seeing the drive at all! I have an A7V with the Promise ATA-100 Controller, and a Maxtor ATA-66 hard drive. As I said before, W2k crashed on install, until I: A.> Flashed the BIOS, and B.> loaded downloaded drivers during the checking hardware phase. But I think Windows DID see the hard drive, as Win98 loaded fine. It was the CD that wasn't being recognized by W2k, and it would hang when it attempted to go from the DOS-Mode to the graphical install. After I did the two steps above, it loaded fine. But the Linux install doesn't give me the option of loading the drivers... Any Ideas???
